He shouldn't have said anything to him directly. It's none of his business. And who cares if he was disappointed in the answer, that's not an excuse to go to the press. Stupid thing to do.

Perhaps Gorges' comments where lost in translation, I did not think they were that bad. All he essentially said is that there was no huge problems with bridge contracts, including the one he signed and 95% of other players sign.

Perhaps Gorges was being remotely controlled by an alien race bent on enslaving the human race.

You're just speculating to make situation sound like what you WANT it to sound like.

Thanks for addressing the content of my post. Everyone can post on HF too, and just like bloggers, I imagine most of us are in our parents' basements. The difference being that if you want anyone to read your blog (and people do read the blog in question) you have to put some thought into the content, whereas any idiot can share their brain farts here, as many so kindly do.

I take it you've read his analysis, and disagree with his opinion that a dominant defenseman in terms of puck possession in all situations is worth more than an undersized winger who played mostly in offensive situations (0:10/game on the penalty kill, 60% O-zone starts), who had an elite shooting percentage (18.9%, 5th among F's) but used his shot comparatively seldomly (only 180 in 78 games, not even among the top 100 in the NHL and less than such noted snipers as David Clarkson, Pascal Dupuis and Jason Chimera), and who signed an extension for a $ figure that most here would scoff at were it Subban.

This is probably the most likely explanation. As I said earlier in the thread, I can't believe he'd say something like this.

What shocks me though is that some posters believe he said it and actually support that position.

Your posts reek of bias. You're projecting what you want to believe into what is actually going on.

It doesn't matter what the players, gorges, subban or bergevin feel. They need to shut up and keep it out of the media. I'd be saying the same thing if Subban were talking to reporters the same way.

I might be biassed since I'm disappointed he could not find a way to come to terms with the Habs. I have no idea what the reason is and neither does anybody on here. Gorges coming out and saying a few words shows he's also disappointed. I agree this could be his own personal feeling right now but it could also reflect what others are thinking. You may think that this line of reasoning is biased, but I don't. If it turns out Gorges is not the only one feeling this way perhaps this explains why there's no deal yet. I'm getting ripped apart for being biased and the only bias I see is that not everyone agrees with me, including yourself. I actually like PK a lot. I've aid this many times.

Nope, I just happen to think that the opinion doesnt have any more weith sinply cause the person decided to put his thoughts into a blog (instead of a forum for example).

The blogger assumed that Eberle's shooting pct will go down, while his ability to compensate and lift his shot total will not happen, and Subban will project to Shea Weber type ability.

Myself, being another guy typing on the internet can suppose some or all of those things won't happen. Or that Eberle is still on the same upward trajectory that he assumes Subban is and Eberle develops to another level.

The more things you assume the more you fail in projecting, especially in the situation where the person doing the projections WANTS IT TO HAPPEN.

As it is under current circumstances I do no believe the Edmonton Oilers would trade Eberle for Subban. But as I said if it happens I will admit I was wrong.
